m COMBINED FLOUR' SIFTER AND SAFE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent .No. 239,753, dated April 5, 1,881. Application filed September 11, 1880. (No model.)

4nois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements iu Combined Flour Sitter and Safe; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such Aas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or tigures ot' reference marked thereon, which torm a part of this specification.

This invention has relation toa combined ilour sifter and safe; and it consists in the improvements in the construction of the same hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Figure l is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a device embodying the improvements Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a front elevation.

Bet'erringby1 letter to the drawings, A designates the casing of the box or chest in which the operative parts of the device are located.

B designates a partition dividing the sittercompartment i'rom the sate-compartment.

In the sitter-compartment I provide a flourbin, (l, having a sliding bottom, I), at the termination ot' its converging sides E.

Beneath the ourbin C, I provide a sievecompartment, F, in which is placed a reciprocating sieve, G, its frame having au arm, G',

v projecting through the casing, which is driven inward by a cam, H, on a shaft, I, operated by a crank-gear, J, and 'a pinion, K, and is forced out by a spring, L, placed between the partition B and the rear face ot' the sieveframe M.

Beneath the sieve-compartment F is located a drawer, N, to receive the sifted ilour, and

tion B, may be upturned and used for the purpose.

In order to facilitate the raising o f the dough I have provided a receptacle, Q, for the same, having converging perforated sides R to leave a space around it iu the safe-compartment.

Beneath the receptacle Q and depending from the bottom ot' the same is a duplex metallic deiiector, S, and beneath this duplex deilector is a lamp-compartment, T.

Connecting the interior of the receptacle Q and the lamp-chamber T are two pipes, U, for conveying the heated air from the receptacle Q back to the Iamp-chamber T, thereby accelerating the rising ot' the dough in the receptacle Q.

V designates the lamp for the lamp-chamber, and W is a drawer for the reception of bread or the like.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

In a combined flour sifter and safe, the combination of the ilour-bin C, provided with the converging sides E and sliding bottom D, with the sieve G in the frame M, having the arm G', the shaft I, having the cam H and pinion K, the crank-gear J, and the spring L, constructed and operating substantially as aud for the purposes set forth. i

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. s
